OpportunityMontgomery County is approving an Economic Impact Plan and tax increment incentive for a new Saint Thomas Health hospital campus on Hwy 76, including a 44‑bed hospital, rehab facility, medical offices, retail and restaurant uses and major public infrastructure. The plan anticipates over $418 million in capital investment, extensive road, utility and stormwater work, and up to $12,027,900 in TIF-backed public infrastructure costs over a 20‑year window. Design, engineering, construction, IT, medical equipment, and facilities vendors can begin positioning with Saint Thomas and the Industrial Development Board as development agreements and infrastructure scopes are defined.Montgomery County · Jun 8, 2026$418,218,500OpportunityFranklin and Williamson County held a special work session on The Banks at Brownland, a 238-acre mixed-use development with over 400,000 SF of athletic, commercial, and community space.

Revenues will fund over $76 million in capital investments over 30 years to consolidate and redevelop the 363-room 33 Beale Hotel, including meeting, event, dining, and retail spaces.
